The Pennsylvania Association of Realtors recognized Rep. Goodman for working with the organization as he advanced a blight-fighting law he authored, Act 133 of 2016, through the legislature. He introduced the legislation to help fight blight by requiring buyers of properties with known code violations to fix them within a year or demolish the property. Previously, the buyer had 18 months to act. After introducing the bill, he learned realtors were concerned that some real estate transactions were being delayed because of minor repair issues, and his bill was amended to address that too. From left to right are PAR President Kathy McQuilkin, Rep. Goodman, PAR First Vice President Bill McFalls, PAR Legislative Chair Mark Mohn, PAR Legislative Vice Chair David Brant and 2016 PAR President Todd Polinchock.
